COVID-19 - The holidays are no time to let your guard down with COVID -December 9, 2020
US virus deaths hit record levels with the holidays ahead
Associated Press
Deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S. have soared to more than 2,200 a day on average, matching the frightening peak reached last April, and cases per day have eclipsed 200,000 on average for the first time on record, with the crisis all but certain to get worse because of the fallout from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Virtually every state is reporting surges just as a vaccine appears days away from getting the go-ahead in the U.S.

Staying vigilant with hand washing, social distancing, wearing masks and limiting gatherings/travel are proven ways to stay safe.  Midwest Alliance for Patient Safety is working with Illinois healthcare providers to learn the latest information on COVID-19.  To learn more, contact us at MAPSHelp@team-iha,org.

Happy Holidays from MAPS PSO
